Today(ish) in Twitter – Friday, February 12th, 2009

Today(ish) in Twitter is a regular column wherein our staff troll through the best of the 140 letter updates of the comic book world. ComicBookDaily is not responsible for the content of these tweets, but we will admit to laughing our collective bums off at some of them.

Paul TobinHey @ChrisSamnee! Can I just tell you how pleased I am that your Mary Marvel drawing had a sulking anthropomorphic super-rat?

Ande ParksMy friend and Union Station collaborator Eduardo Barretto is not well. Keep him and his family in your thoughts. http://is.gd/8fprl

Gearing up for the next Spidey script! Got all my notes in front of me. And cue-ing up the DVD player for DUCK SOUP. Yes, I said DUCK SOUP something you need to get about Spidey, there’s a part of him that is SO Groucho Marx, just like Bugs Bunny or Hawkeye (from M.A.S.H.) owe part of their make up to Groucho, so too does Spidey. That’s at the core of his quips. Really. And DUCK SOUP has my favorite Groucho bits especially the mirror sequence (though there’s no quipping in it). To me, after the bit where Indy shoots the swordsman in RAIDERS, the mirror sequence in DS is the funniest scene in ANY movie. If you’ve never seen it B4, here U go: http://bit.ly/Kj52t

Dan Mcdaid Absolutely loving the #ifiwastharg stuff.I even prefer the maligned 90s iteration of 2000AD to its current incarnation.At least it was funny

Hope LarsonBrilliant! RT @comicsalliance: Cerebus Valentines for That Special Void in Your Life http://bit.ly/bspYyMI’ve met Dave Sim a couple of times, and he’s one of the few people I’ve met in comics who scares the living shit out of me. When you shake his hand you can feel the hate coming off him in waves.

Chris Samnee Looks like I’m getting a bunch of grey hairs:/ If I shave my head does that mean I have to start writing comics instead?
